Textbook Question
Chapter 6, Problem 4PP
Complete and fully test the class Characteristic that Exercise 5 describes. Include the following methods:
- getDescription—returns the description of this characteristic.
- getRating—returns the rating of this characteristic.
- getCompatability (Characteristic otherRating)—returns the compatibility measure of two matching characteristics, or zero if the descriptions do not match.
- getCompatabilityMeasure (Characteristic otherRating)— private method that returns a compatibility measure as a formula double value using the formula
when both ratings are nonzero; m is zero if either rating is zero. (Recall from Exercise 5 that the constructor sets the rating to zero, indicating that it has not yet been determined.)
- isMatch(Characteristic otherRating)— a private method that returns true if the descriptions match.

Create the following class diagram:
The print method in:
- Author prints the Authors data
- Page prints page no and text
- Textbook prints the subject and all pages
- Novel prints the genre and all pages
The toString method in:
- Book returns title and authors
- textbook returns subject in additions to super toString
- Novel genre in additions to super toString
Test your implementation create objects of different types example :
- Create a book of type Novel which has many pages and several authors
- Create a book of type Textbook which has many pages and several authors
- Access these objects polymorphically, variable of class book contains objects of its subclasses Textbook and novel
- Print a hall book
- Print a single page of a book
- Print the book and its authors
Coupling is the amount two methods or classes know about one another. The more they know about one another, the more tightly coupled the design.
True/False
Java - Access Specifiers
Create a class named Circle that has attributes radius, area, and circumference and make the attributes private. Make a public method that sets the radius and a method that prints all attributes. Ask the user input for radius.
Note: Use the PI from the math functions
Inputs
A line containing an integer
10
Sample Output
Radius: 20
Area: 1256.64
Circumference: 125.66
